My life at Boarding School

Posted by

 

 

My name is Matei, I’ve recently started studying at College Du Leman, an International Boarding School in Versoix, Switzerland.

So far, I can say my experience here has been a pretty good one because I’ve made some good friends and I have learnt a lot of new subjects that will prepare me for the university that I want to apply for.

This is a top school that only a few people have the privilege to attend but it’s worth it. Besides the fact that you will leave with a lot of academic knowledge, you will also establish relationships with people from all across the world and you will have the possibility to use those relationships in the future.

Another aspect I really like about College Du Leman is that they give you the freedom to choose your preferred subjects. This is great because teenagers can exceed in what they want to do in the future and focus on their goals. For example, I see myself on the business/management side, so I chose 2 subjects that will help me improve my knowledge on this domain: Business and Economics.

Boarding life is amazing here, because after school, when students feel like they want to relax, they also have the choice of doing their favorite hobbies. This way, students will do something productive with their free time, as well as something educative.

In the weekend, students are free to explore Geneva. They are given this privilege because it’s important for them to feel free and happy while studying at College Du Leman.

 

To sum up, life at this school offers students a lot of opportunities and can be very enjoyable. You just have to respect some simple rules and you will have a great time. You will make a lot of good friends from all around the world, a lot of really nice memories and it will help you get in a lot of top universities from where you can start a career.

Surf Fuerteventura

My time surfing  in Fuerteventura by Rodrigo.

 

October holidays were full of good waves and nice sunny weather in Fuerteventura, Canary Islands. We spent a week on vacation there, where we had surfing lessons every morning, then the afternoon spending our free time in and around the calm and pleasant town of Fuerteventura. During the trip we also enjoyed the really great and delicious Spanish food, such as Spanish tortilla and paella. The weather was amazing, with lots of sunny days with the sweet and salty taste of the sea in the air. With our wetsuits on and our feet full of sand, we had challenging yet enjoyable surfing lessons every morning in a tranquil place where the waves were perfect for beginners. 

We had an enjoyable day out to another Island called Lanzarote, where there are a lot of volcanoes and geysers; we got to see them up close and learn many facts about them. Also in Lanzarote, we had the opportunity to go an Aloe Vera museum where they taught us to appreciate the uses and applications of applying Aloe Vera for skin and health purposes. We were exhausted after the trip, so when we came back we had free time to rest and to get ready for dinner in the hotel.

On the last day, we decided not to surf but instead relax on an amazing private beach, where we brought a cook to prepare an amazing paella that we all enjoyed very much. We all relax in the sand and with much to talk about, we sat there watching the sea and chatting. When the sun started to set we repositioned ourselves so we could see it perfectly and played music to set the perfect mood. It was a really busy and amazing day for us in Fuerteventura.
